Global Sinhala Dhamma Discussion: Conference Bridge Upgrade
We are pleased inform all Global Sinhala Dhamma Discussion Participants that we have upgraded the Conference Bridge to support high definition audio qualiy.
This means that the participants using Skype will enjoy better than phone voice quality. What does this means? Phones are not able to transmit very much information. Like an AM radio, phones can only deliver the mid-tones of your voice to the telephone at the other end making you sound a little tinny and as if you are, well, using a telephone (limited to about 4kHz at the upper end whereas voices and the human ear range up to about 22kHz). When you use Skype and your computer to get into a wideband audio HighSpeed Conference, every caller hears a much wider voice range (extending up as far as 12kHz). The bottom line is that your voice sounds richer, fuller, clearer and far more natural to everyone on the conference call.
Here are the new calling numbers for the Dhamma conference using the high performance conference bridge:
From Skype (totally free!):
call Skype number: +9900827048980674 to be a participant. Please note that this Skype out number is completely free.
